    I used to do business with a lot of Russians right after the Berlin wall came down, we all got filthy rich privatizing the trillions of dollars worth of state industries. They were excited about joining NATO when Putin applied, they thought they were going to be in the club. Point is, they did everything we asked, but in the end they were more useful to us as an enemy, so it never mattered what Russia did, we were never going to let them into the club. Looking back on it now, I laugh. Thanks for the profits, Boris! You fucking rube!

      Russia never applied to join NATO.

      They were never even in a partnership plan, much less doing ‘everything we asked’. Nice bootlicking though. Even when nominally satirical you can’t help yourselves, can you?

        Yeah maybe if they just simped a little harder and cut us in on a little bit more of the profits we would have accepted them! 😉. I like the cut of your jib.

            I’m on your side, you just missed the memo. We can stop pretending that there was any chance of Russia getting let into the club, the current mark is Ukraine. If they privatize everything and sacrifice enough of their people to fight the barbaric Russkies for us we might let them into NATO and EU. 😉

                Are you a Russian bot? Repeating yourself and refusing to get on board with the latest messaging? What time is it in Moscow, Ivan?
